What is the reason why children have difficulty falling asleep

There are many reasons why children have difficulty falling asleep. For example, the baby's activity level is relatively small and the body does not feel tired. In addition, if the child eats too much at night and his stomach is not particularly comfortable, this may also cause him to not want to sleep. In addition, drinking some caffeinated beverages before going to bed can easily cause children to be unwilling to sleep. In daily life, parents must let their children develop the good habit of going to bed on time.

Why do children have trouble falling asleep?

1. The baby has little activity

If the baby is less active during the day, he will have abundant energy and nowhere to vent, and he will have trouble falling asleep after going to bed at night. In this case, parents should consciously let their babies do more outdoor activities and physical exercises during the day to burn calories, so that the baby will fall asleep quickly at night.

2. Excessive activity before bed

Some babies play and play games outside before going to bed, running and jumping non-stop. Even if they lie down in bed, the baby's active cells have not stopped and are still in a tense and excited state. In addition, if babies watch exciting TV or listen to exciting stories before going to sleep, their brains are still in an excited state and they will also be slow to fall asleep. In this case, parents need to strictly control the baby's activities before going to bed, and do not let the baby do intense and exciting activities and games. If the baby is in a peaceful mood before going to bed, the baby will fall asleep quickly.

3. The baby’s sleeping environment is not good

Some babies have difficulty falling asleep due to a bad sleeping environment, such as the indoor lights are too bright, family members talking or the TV volume is too loud, which affects the baby's sleep.

For these, mom or dad must take countermeasures and try to create a comfortable and quiet sleeping environment for the baby.

If mom or dad has taken many measures but the baby still has difficulty falling asleep, do not force the baby to fall asleep, let alone beat, scold or threaten the baby. Instead, use caress, such as patting the baby and singing a lullaby. I believe that the baby will fall asleep quickly in the warm caress of mom or dad.
